A question we hear quite often is
"How does the verification process work?"
It's a bit detailed but critical that you understand
what Apple is approving.
We take privacy very seriously.
So we look to you, the artist teams,
to help manage who has access.
Apple Music for Artists is an artist-first dashboard.
So, if you are an artist or manager
requesting an unclaimed artist page
that request will follow through us
and be reviewed by a human being.
As the first person approved for access,
you will automatically become the admin for the page.
That means all subsequent requests
will go to you for approval, not Apple.
As the admin, you will receive emails and in-app notifications
of the request for you to action on.
This is an artist-first dashboard,
but label reps can make access requests.
However, we look to the artist to make the decision.
When they make a request, that label rep will receive an email notifying them
to work with their artist to either get access,
if the artist doesn't already have it, or approve them if they do.
Again, admins will receive notifications of the request.
This is a great time for admins to do a little housecleaning
and make sure your teams are set up correctly.
It's important to keep things up to date
as your team changes and grows throughout your career.
Making sure the right people have access
means you're set up for success with a solid support system
to take you even further as you continue to work towards your goals.
As an admin, you are not only responsible for approving inbound requests,
but you can also invite users.
You can select between a few roles, including co-admin,
which allows your team member to manage access to your page
and view all sections of your dashboard.
Analyst, which grants them access to view data and share milestones.
And profile editor, which allows them to upload artist images and edit artist details.
You can also delete folks that may not need access any longer. It's in your hands.
We want you to stay informed and up to date
on Apple Music for Artists.
In both the iOS app and web version,
you can manage your user settings
to opt in to get the latest news and features updates,
as well as your Artist Weekly Recaps
and Shazam trending emails if that applies.
So again, make sure your Apple ID is up to date.
